The War in the Ukraine

Saw that clip of Su-30's dropping bombs on USV's.. Like i really wish Russians can have some weapon in class of Brimestone to deal with such targets. N011M have indeed MTI capability to spot moving target, what needed next is some standoff weapon and maybe a targeting pod to identify the target visually and from relatively safe altitude.

Kh-31A/AD can be used but, doesnt seem tobe a good tradeoff

Aircraft should be able to launch interceptor drones and loitering munitions from under the wings. You need to develop a new generation of air launched attack drones. Not just fighters and bombers but for helicopters and turboprop patrol aircraft. For example, a Lancet style drone launched from an Su-30 or even from a Mi-28.

Footage of a Russian M-28NM helicopter using an X-39 LMUR guided missile in combat in Ukraine. These missiles are also used by Ka-52 helicopters. The video was filmed in the village of Krasny Liman in the Donbas. The X-39 missile struck a Ukrainian drone control center located in an abandoned building.

Footage of Russian Italmas drone strikes on two Ukrainian Su-27 fighter jets and an F-16 fighter jet at the Myrhorod airfield. Previously, another Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet was attacked by Italmas drones at the Kirovohrad airfield.
Worth noting, Ukrainian F-16 fighter jets are presumably decommissioned and are being used to train engineering technicians and perform aircraft maintenance. For long-range operation, the Italmas drones have been equipped with Starlink terminals. Russia's Izdeliye-54 drone, also known as the Italmas, is designated the BM-35 in Ukraine.

Servicemen from the Russian Forces Group Center showed footage of repelling attacks by Ukrainian FPV drones in the Krasnoarmeysk sector. The Ukrainian drones are being hit with small arms.
